Additional details were not provided.

“We are very saddened by this death and send condolences to the loved ones of this person,” State Epidemiologist Zack Moore said in a statement. “Flu is a serious illness and in some cases can lead to complications and even result in death, which is why we strongly encourage people to get vaccinated every year.”

North Carolina saw 208 flu deaths during the 2018-19 flu season, state health officials said.
